Questions to Come Before Oar Con
gress Considered.

DAYTON, Aug. 2S.--The coming
convention at Buffalo has been the
subject of debate among the Social
lists here of late. The question of
the union of all sociaIistic bodies has
been considered, and it was decided
to ask the convention to issue an in
vitation to those socialists who were
members of other other and secret
bodies to adopt our platform and
give up their secret mode of organi-
zation. As to a central printing
Office and the question of stereotype
plates, our section recommends
great Gale and thorough considera-
tion in view of the fact that both
the national typographical unions
are opposed to their use, and we do
not wish to injure our fellow work.
men. We are in favor of maintain
ing the papers of our party; and we
recommend the engagement of few
good agitators, especially English
speaking ones. We also recommend
that the members of the different
Sections be taxed sufficient to pay
expenses of delegates to convention,
so that the smaller Sections can be
represented.
On the 25th inst. we had mass
meeting, at which Harry G. Vroo-
man spoke on the question: "Why
are the idlers rich and the workers
poor?" The speech pleased us so
much that we hope he may become
one of our regular agitators.
We have united all labor organi-
zations to vote our ticket at the
coming election, and expect large
vote.

A private letter from member of the
Labor Party in Buffalo, N. Y, contains
the following:

MURDER CONTEMPLATED.

AS we go to press it is reported
that the seven men who were SEN
fenced to death for participation in
the IIaymarket meeting will not be
granted a new trial. This, if true,
would mean that the capitalistc au-
thorities intend to murder them.
Murder is cowardly, criminal; but
the murder of these wGrkingmen
without any evidence to prove them
guilt" of wrong-doing, is most afro
cious, and will not fail of punish
ment if Justice lives.

FASHIONS FOR MEN.
STYLISH INSIDE POCKET ORN-
AMENTATION,
short Tail Goats "Chic"-Base Ball
the Fashionable Topic-Head
Decorations still Popular.
Thinks He Must Re.
main an Idiot.

1t is not often that we refer to
the fashions, and probably would
not have thought of the matter now
but for an article by Anna Haskell
in the "Truth' column of the Den
yer Labor Eaquirer. Mrs. Haskell,
being n woman, naturally takes
more notice of the fashions than a
poor "he" man would. She says:
There seems to be no decided
change in fashions this season.
1t is still the the thing for those
gentlemen holding public positions
to ornament the inside of their
pockets with all the Doodle there is
in sight. 1t is thought that when
the Labor Party is in office this
style will be done away with.
Workingmen are still following
the time-worn fashion of working
long hours for little pay. The
greater portion of their earnings is
generally given to the employer as
heretofore. The same old mode of
living in small, rented houses, wear
ing poor clothes, and eating half
rations still prevails.
Among the clerks it is chic to
wear short-tailed coats and dude
hats; to lie, cheat and swindle the
purchaser for the benefit of their
masters. All sensible subjects of
conversations are tabooed and base
ball still continues to be the topic of
the hour.
The police department is averse
to innovations. They WELD their
clubs with old-time dexterty and
decorate the head and person of any
desirable individual with the darkly,
deeply Dlue llhI 80 universally ad-
mired, as usual.
The capitalist plays his little game
of the spider and the fly with re-
newed vigor and style. He lives in
magnificent mansion and eats and
drinks three times II day. He has
his yacht, his horses and his mis-
tress. 1t is still very stylish for the
workingmen to pay for all this.
In fact, it is still comme il .taut for
all workers to be fools and all en-
ployers rascals. The fool would will
lingly become rascal if he could,
but if he can't he don't see any,'ung
else to do except to remain a fool.
The workingman, as q general
thing, likes to be fool; it is so styl-
ish.

They Sw ore.

"a Country parson," in encountering
a storm the past season in the voyage
across the Atlantic, was reminded OF the
following:
a clergyman was :" unfortunate asto
be caught in a severe gale in the voyage
out. The water was exceedingly rough,
and the ship persistently buried her nose
in the sea. The rolling was constant,
and at last the good man got throughly
frightened. He believed they were
destined for watery grave. He asked
the captain If he could not have prayers.
The captain took him by the arm and ! ed
him down to the forscastls, where the
tars were singing and swearing. "There,
said he. when you hear then swearing
you may know there 10 no danger.
He went back feeling better; but the
storm increased his alarm. Disconsolate
and unassisted he managed to stagger
to the forecastle again. The ancient
mariners were swearing as ever. MARY
he said, as he crawled into his berth, to
his sympathetic wife, after tacking
acruss a wet deek-"Mary, thank GOO
they're s,cearing yet."

SHEPHERDSTOWN Wv FRIDAY, JANUARY Is, 1887

one disconsolate cur limped out. his
ribs bare of flesh where the lioness's paw
had struck him. We were now in =
predicament. After an hours internal
clatter by the beaters, we were as far
from getting her royal highess out as
ever, for show herself she would not.
eff The tamarisk is only dry enough"
quo'h Mac, ''we can soon smoke her
Gus" and he galloped round through
the beaters, and soon volley of flaming
torches rained into the brake. This
fetched her. She made a gallant charge
out and almost up, before we gave her
all four barrels. 1t stopped her, and
for a moment the noble beast seemed
stunned. Then as the smoke cleared
away, we saw her return to the shelter.
More torches were thrown in, and four
separate times did the despera ate lioness
charge us dauntlessly and receive our
fire, before finally biting the dust.
She had eleven bullet holes in her,
besides the smashed shoulder blade l
had given her the night before. With
that bullet in her (Which had passed
through her and lay against her ribs on
the opposite side to that it had entered)
she had travelled nearly nine miles, had
made five determined rushes. killed snG
disabled four dogs, and died like the
heroine she was, in mid charge. And

of praise for the noble creature that lay

elapsed for us to track the other lion

work for twenty -four hours, after all,
and we returned to camp, fully satisfied

Intelligence of Driver Ants.

There are certain ants that show won-
derful intelligence, and the "driyer
ants" not only build boats, but launch
them, too; only these boats are formed
of their own bodies. They are called
"drivers" because of their ferocity.
Nothing can stand before the attack Of
these little creatures. Large pythons
have been killed by them in single
night, while chickens, lizards, and
other animals in Western Africa flee
from them in terror. To protect them
selves from the heat, they erect arches,
under which numerous armies of them
pass in safety. Sometimes the arch is
made of grass and earth gnmmed to-
gether by some secretion, and again it
is formed by the bodies of the larger
ants. which hold themselves together
by their strong nippers, while the
workers pass under them.
At certain times OF the year freshets
overflow the country lnnaDlteu oy Tile

and the walls Of their houses are broken
in by the flood, but instead of coming to
the surface in scattered hundreds and
being swept off to destruction, out of
the ruins raises black ball, that rides
safely on the water and drifts away. At
the first warning of danger the little
creatures rush together and form solid
ball of ants, the weaker in the center;
often this ball is larger than common
base ball, and in this way they noat
about until they lodge against some
tree, upon the branches of which they

Striving.

I started on lonely road.
A few companions with me went,
Some fell behind, some onward strode'
But all on one high purpose bent:
Ts live for Nature, finding truth
In beauty and the shrines Of art;
To consecrate our joyous youth
To aims outside the common mark.
| turned aside and fingered long
To pluck a rose, to hear bird,
To muse while listening TO the song
OF brooks through leafy coverts heard;
To live in thoughts that brought no fame
Or guerdon from the thoughtless crowd
To toll for ends that could not claim
The worlds applauses coarse and loud.
But still, though oft bind my sheaf
In fields my comrades have not known,
Though art is long and life is brief,
And youth has now forever flown:
I would not lose the raptures sweet,
Nor scorn the toll of earlier years;
Still would l climb with eager feet,
Though towering height on height appears
